TARGETED POLLUTANTS

POPs – persistent organic pollutants
POPs have been discovered to be the relevant part of emissions to the environment causing health effects, including dioxins (PCCD/F), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and others. These compounds have a high stability, low volatility and are degraded very slowly. Due to the lipophilic character, an accumulation in the human body takes place.

Fine & Coarse dust
Fine dust is the portion of solids in gases being the focus of concern for pulmonary health effects. ParTrace® cartridges trace the fine dust fraction of general concern, PM10, PM2.5, PM1, and splits them in the respective fractions within one sampling run.
